  1. The service is great and the atmosphere is very relaxed.
  2. My process for exploring ring ideas, asking questions, thinking of ring setting designs, bouncing ideas off Isaac and ultimately setting on a ring to be made did last about 3 months, but it was a really fun process and I can't say enough about how accommo
  3. Isaac was so helpful, the atmosphere was great, the selection was awesome.
  4. They will all go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and to make your experience great.
  5. The whole experience was very comfortable.
  6. My wife and I feel very comfortable using him and have always received a great product.
  7. At no time did I feel pressured to buy anything; she was extremely knowledgeable which made for a very comfortable experience.
  8. She gave me a very good tutorial on color and clarity and a few hours later, I was extremely comfortable in knowing what I was looking for after being able to see and analyze stones of varying grades.
  9. When we arrived, it was pouring rain but there was valet parking (that they covered for us for the day so we could check out the park and shop on the magnificent mile nearby!)
  10. She made me feel comfortable with the whole process in getting the perfect engagement ring for my fiance.
  11. and the store itself is cool and fun.
  12. Their customer service was excellent and they are equipped with good technology to make the process more fun and interesting, and to help get to know your diamond(s) on a personal level.

  1. found dimend scaasi on a random search on google, i.e, best chicago diamonds or something like that, and my expectations were low until I saw their on line selection.
  2. did extensive research prior to buying my ring and found that they offered very competitive pricing right out of the gate.
  3. There I was overwhelmed by all the choices and had a bad experience feeling pressured to buy a lower quality diamond at one of the random stores I visited.
  4. DS's selection was fantastic, with a wide variety of ring styles and the unique style that fits my fiance's taste.
  5. almost feel guilty having gone to a place with such an amazing selection & such an obvious ability to create amazing designs and having a solitaire ring made.
  6. Unusual, innovative ring designs and a good selection of high end stones at decent prices.
  7. Ultimately, after examining diamonds at the other jewelers with whom I was working, it became clear that DS had the best options based on my specifications.
  8. made an appointment with Shannon to visit Dimend Scaasi with Craig to look at their extensive collection of ring styles and diamonds.
  9. Excellent selection and great service!
  10. My friend had recommended Bluenile (which also had a tremendous selection in diamonds).
  11. You don't pay a premium for the name (i.e. Jared) and both Alexa/Isaac were very helpful and honest in my selection process.
  12. Isaac was so helpful, the atmosphere was great, the selection was awesome.
  13. found the perfect ring for my honey through their extensive online catalog.
  14. The only reason I give these nice folks 4 out of 5 stars is that I felt their selection of rings was somewhat limited.
  15. beyond the great service and selection, my sales person actually kept me well under budget.
  16. Their diverse selection is incredible and the staff are very knowledgeable.
  17. It became clear that DS had a fantastic selection and very consistent pricing and, importantly, some of the most unique settings of all online vendors.
  18. did extensive research on nearly 50 accredited jewelers and this one in my opinion is the best bar none.
  19. After weeks of searching for my perfect wedding ring, I found several beautiful options online at Dimend Scaasi.
overall
100.0% positive
  1. Chicago's best place for engagement rings
  2. Dimend SCAASI is by far in my eyes the best place to purchase that perfect engagement ring!
  3. After consulting with a friend about the best place to buy an engegement ring, I was told to go no further than a web-site called Dimend Scassi.
  4. This is the absolute best place to go for buying jewelry.
  5. Again, the place is a business and I'm sure some people have good experiences, some mediocre and some bad - but this place is NOT the diamond Shangri-la that the reviews here make it out to be.
  6. That was a good thing as her local knowledge meant that rather than being ripped off on the high street, she did plenty of research online and built up a list of the best 10 stores in the jewellers mall, before we visited in Aug 2008.

  1. don't have any issue recommending DS to everyone, and I know I'll be back for future purchases.
  2. would recommend Dimend Scaasi to anyone and I will return for more jewelry when I need it.
  3. Furthermore, he sent the diamond for inspection (after an amazing online viewing) and allowed return for full puchase price if unsatisfied.
  4. All in all, this was an incredible experience and of course, I'll have to come back once the ring arrives and let you all know if this incredible trend of quality product and service continued to the finish line, but I am confident all will be well.

  1. was not only looking for quality, but also a great value.
  2. Great prices, what you see on the website is what you get, great service
  3. With Shannon it would have been more than worth any difference in cost, but I even found out that dimend SCASSI was less expensive than the wholesaler anyways.
  4. also recommend Dimend Scaasi on their value and quality of rings and diamonds.
  5. They have the unique ability to find any diamond at any price range, and they will not let you settle on just any ring.
  6. Gorgeous diamond, great price, excellent service
  7. It became clear that DS had a fantastic selection and very consistent pricing and, importantly, some of the most unique settings of all online vendors.
  8. Great engagment ring service and value
  9. have very limited knowledge of jewelry in general but with some input from my girlfriend as to the style and with some tremendous help from Shannon at dimend SCAASI I found what I believe to be an excellent ring for a terrific price.
  10. The price was more than reasonable.
  11. We were given great prices and even better advice and service Shannon helped us out and i was looking for a much larger and more expensive band.
  12. Other places, for the same money or more, showed me stones in an H color or with less than excellent cut , etc.
  13. Not only were they very accommodating to all my requests, they went out of their way to track the shipment after a huge snow storm to ensure that the ring would be ready in time.
  14. Combine this with great online prices similar to other warehouse distributors, and even better diamonds (check the GIA specs on the warehouse ones compared to the ones SCASSI provides) for a great ring and experience.
  15. Great customer service, quality, and price
  16. The deciding factor for me was that Isaac steered me towards diamonds that were excellent values, whereas I felt that other jewelers were steering me towards diamonds at the upper end of my budget.
  17. left knowing that I had just picked out the best ring for the best price and even enjoyed doing so!
  18. In fact, when I was leaning toward the more expensive diamond, Isaac suggested perhaps the slight upgrade quality wasn't that noticeable and probably not worth the huge jump in price.
  19. All around great service, quality, and fair prices.
  20. the size was right and the price seemed fantastic for the quality of diamond.
  21. explained that I really wanted to put all the money into a really great diamond, rather than put a couple grand into the band or side stones.
  22. Great value and the ring was exactly what my fiance was looking for (Tiffany style Legacy setting) Isaac was extremely helpful in making this happen and couldn't be happier with their service!
  23. Their pricing is fantastic, Alexa saved me $800.00.
  24. Isaac and Shannon both explained the pros and cons of each diamond and didn't pressure me at all to chose a more expensive option.
  25. They were professional and gave me exactly what I wanted at a great price.
  26. Best designs and prices around.
  27. After hours of looking around, Dimend Scaasi stood out for both of us, offering a combination of competitive prices, excellent service that never made you feel pressured, and providing only high quality stones.
  28. We got a great price and most importantly a beautiful ring customized to fit my tastes.
  29. Shannon was very helpful in explaining everything to me and the prices were fantasic.
  30. I'm rather analytical and having dimend's website, with full disclosure to compare prices, was helpful from the beginning.
  31. He gave me a great price on a diamond and diamond studded wedding band.
  32. My finance' even got me the setting that I really wanted but thought was too expensive.
  33. What was important to our decision to buy from Isaac, was the fact that we found a beautiful, quality diamond at a fair price.
  34. If anyone wants to buy a enagagement ring or any type of jewelry online at a good price, look no further.
  35. Your knowledge about the cut of the diamond vs. other qualities was very important in being able to find an affordable diamond that was still beautiful.
  36. Isaac gave me full value for a diamond that I purchased from him earlier, and gave me a wonderful deal for the previous gold.
  37. Even recommended I purchase a LESS expensive diamond.
  38. High quality diamonds/rings at a very good price.
  39. You'll fine some of the most unique settings around at reasonable pricing.
  40. would highly recommend this jewelry store to anyone looking to purchase well above average quality diamonds at a fair price.
  41. Shannon helped me choose the perfect diamond and at a really great price.
  42. Dimend Scaasi offered a great price so i got in touch.
  43. recently purchased a diamond for my soon to be fiance and found the website, salespeople, and most importantly the prices to be excellent!
  44. set up my order with Alexa and she had a refreshingly honest discussion with me about my choice of stone and ring, to the point that she steered me away from a slightly smaller, but more expensive stone to a slightly larger less expensive stone that wou
  45. At every turn he tried to demonstrate that buying the most expensive diamond might not be the best decision, and I was surprised and pleased by that.
  46. Furthermore, he sent the diamond for inspection (after an amazing online viewing) and allowed return for full puchase price if unsatisfied.
  47. Their prices are competitive, but they are amazing coupled with the outstanding product you will receive.
  48. Patented Innerview system combined with great diamond prices, for a great experience
  49. She had pulled three or four great diamonds (all of which were in or below the price range I had given her) and was perfectly willing to give her opinion when I asked, but didn't try to push any agenda.
  50. It felt like I was working with a local jeweler personally who also happened to have great online prices.
  51. This was a huge time saver, because I could study the list and tell her specifically which ones I wasn't interested in before I even saw them.
  52. When the ring was sent to me and my wife wanted slightly different colored sapphires, Lexi took it back, mailed us additional samples to choose from and then delivered a wonderful ring at a very competitive price.
  53. The owner helped me find a great diamond for an excellent price.
  54. Once I had it down to two they actually steered me to the less expensive stone (which really was the better one), so that was nice.
  55. Furthermore, I feel like I got an outstanding value.
  56. Unusual, innovative ring designs and a good selection of high end stones at decent prices.
  57. did extensive research prior to buying my ring and found that they offered very competitive pricing right out of the gate.

by So Thrilled

From the moment we walked in we were greeted by the staff who were warm and friendly.

On top of that my setting is gorgeous. Truly pleased with every step of the process and everyone there made us feel so welcome. Thanks again dimend SCAASI. We'll be back !

Best Jewler Hands Down

by TJ74

dimend SCAASI Rocks!

I had a great experience working with dimend SCAASI and Marta. It started with my search for a diamond and setting for the engagement ring for my fiance. It ended with me and my fiance getting our bands from SCAASI.

Of course I know we are not done with dimend SCAASI because we will get anniversary rings and other gifts from them.

Helpful, Knowledgeable, and not the least bit intimidating or pushy.

Thank You everyone at dimend SCAASI.

Amazing from A to Z!

by Ujwals

Let me start by saying that I am not the easiest shopper to deal with. I don't mean that I'm rude, or that I am unreasonable. I am a PERFECTIONIST, and for a person like me to use the word PERFECT to describe anything is a RARE occasion. But perfect is the only word to describe my journey with Dimend Scaasi.

I had spent several months researching diamonds, metals (Gold/Platinum/Palladium), setting styles, and designers. I wanted to have as much information and knowledge in order to chose the perfect ring for my future fiancée.

When I felt I knew enough information to make an informed decision I started visiting jewelers. I was looking for a retailer who carried Gelin Abaci, a designer that creates beautiful tension settings. I made an appointment to see Shannon Hruza and she was wonderful. When I came to her office she had set aside multiple rings for me to look at and spent a LOT of time with me that first meeting getting to know not only my style and budget, but who I was, my personality, and my relationship and tastes with my girlfriend. She was patient, and genuine. I didn't feel as if I was speaking with a salesperson, but more like a new friend.

I was afraid that my persnickety nature, and the many MANY questions I had would scare her away like it did with so many other jewelers, but to my surprise she was able to answer all my questions and was very knowledgeable. Not only did she go toe to toe with me, but if there were question she didn't know off the top of her head, she went and got the owner to get me the info I needed. They even called their contact with Gelin Abaci and answered specific questions I had about their settings.

After my first meeting with Shannon and the owner, Isaac, I knew that I would love working with them. They were passionate about their work and genuinely loved to share their knowledge and passion with their customers.

Shannon and Isaac had different settings shipped in from Gelin Abaci, and helped me pick one that we knew my girlfriend would love.

They also worked with my strict criteria on the diamond and had the perfect stone for me sent in from California.

I will definitely be coming back to them to have our wedding bands custom created for us. Diamend Scassi will be my lifelong Jewelers.

From A to Z they went above and beyond for me. If anyone wants to see the picture of this amazing Ring that Dimend Scassi helped make a reality, contact me @ u.surender@gmail and I will be more than happy to show it and share some more stories about my journey. I will also be posting pictures on their Facebook page soon.

Scaasi: the perfect place for a guy clueless about diamonds

by pross13

I had a picture of what my girlfriend wanted in an engagement ring and that was it. I knew the cut, and that she wanted solitaire and the rest was up to me. This was a scary thing being a guy who has no fashion sense at all when it comes to jewelery.

But then Shannon came around the corner and made me feel totally at ease. She gave me great information, and was not scared to offer up an opinion. The owner was also in the store and was very involved in the diamond selection process, which is probably rare.

The store ambiance was very trendy and cool. I went into other diamond places on jewelers row and felt like they were trying to sell me a used car. At Scaasi, I felt like they were just being real. Loved the experience and would recommend it to anyone!!

Great Place to Buy an Engagement Ring

by mattysmitty15

I honestly can't say enough good things about my experience with Dimend Scaasi. I set up an appointment online and within a day I was contact by one of their customer service representatives who worked with me leading up to the appointment to ensure they were prepared for my visit.

When I finally showed up, I was set up with Shannon who was absolutely fantastic. I walked in with no knowledge of rings, diamonds, jewelry, or anything, and she took the time to walk through the entire process with me, and eventually I was able to pick the perfect ring.

Not being a Chicago resident (Louisiana) and being on something of a short timeline for when I wanted to propose, Dimen SCAASI was able to put a rush on my order and overnight the ring to me so I could get it in time for Labor Day Weekend. I was really blown away by the quality of their customer service and how much personal attention I received.

I would recommend Dimend Scaasi to anyone. I was treated exceptionally well and I got a great ring at a great price. And as a result, she said yes!
